do past papers. it helps you to know the structure of the paper well. also, work on timings as well. use the marks as a guide as to how long to spend on each question (for example, if a question is worth 4 marks, do a question in 4 minutes and if a question is worth 20 marks, do a question in 20 minutes, etc.)

My biggest tip from someone predicted A* is to genuinely go through the whole spec and blurt definitions and advantages and disadvantages of everything then if there’s anything you don’t understand just watch taking the biz on YouTube or any other reliable videos. You can also watch tutor2u livestreams on YouTube for help on calculations and general knowledge. Good luck for Wednesday!

Does anyone have any predictions? I’m wondering whether they will ask anything about distribution channels or motivation theories. Those are my worst!

Oh yh they haven’t really asked about entrepreneurial skills that could come up. Hoping for 1.4 something easy like approaches to staffing and financial and non-financial motivators.

A record of a country's trade/transactions with the rest of the world . so there 2 types such a surplus which is when exports and investment income are greater than import and then deficit where the sum of exports of goods and services ,investment income and transfers...are less than imports . FD into the host country will improve BoP.(balance of payment)
